Amgen's Obesity Prospects and Q4 Results in Focus

Amgen's weight loss pipeline and upcoming Q4 results are being closely watched by investors. The company's plans to advance its GLP-1 receptor agonist maridebart cafraglutide and non-incretin-based oral therapy, AMG 786, are being scrutinized. Barclays highlights the potential value of Amgen's obesity prospects, which are expected to be a major focus in the upcoming results.
